Is it possible to force a list template to automatically
restart...
  after an intervening paragraph of Style XXX?  -or-
  after an intervening member of a different list
template?

I'm using W2000 and would like to reduce the number of
list templates in a 1000-page flight manual I have
inherited from 300+ to around 3. One list template
(*Headings*) would use heading styles 1-9 as

1.  Heading 1
1.1   Heading 2
1.1.1   Heading 3
etc.

The Second List Template (*Checklists*) would use 9 unique
*Checklist* styles outlined like:

1) Checklist 1 style
  a) Checklist 2 style
     i)  Checklist 3 style
etc.

I have reset the list gallery and I am building a *clean*
document template to apply to the existing document.  As I
go through and apply the template styles to the existing
text I'd like a bulletproof way of forcing the Checklist
list template to restart numbering at 1) after ANY
intervening *Heading* style or member of the *Headings*
list template occurs because in some chapters, the
headings go only 3 deep before a *Checklist* appears; in
others the checklist may appear in paragraphs 4 to 5
Heading-levels deep.

I also have another list template for fault indications
and diagnosis which would also restart after any *Heading*
Style but would have a different outline scheme without
numbers.

I'd prefer a field code and switch solution to a VBA
solution but I will entertain all suggestions. The
priority is that it be stable and predictable.

You can't restart numbering in Word based on a specific style, unless
that style is linked to some level in a list template, in which case
it can be set to restart lower levels of the same list template.

However, you might be able to use the LISTNUM restart method described
by Margaret Aldis to restart numbering of the Checklist styles. It
is based on the idea that you restart numbering at the end of each
list. For a detailed description, please see:

http://www.syntagma.demon.co.uk/FAQs/ListRestartByLISTNUM.htm

How useful the method is for you depends on how easily the end of each
list can be identified, which, in turn, depends on how far apart the
list items are, and how much they are moved around.
